This School’s Reviews
Niche Reviews
10/31/2024
My experience at STEM has been largely positive. The competitive environment has pushed me to become the best student I can be. However, this same culture can sometimes be quite stressful. At STEM, maintaining a 4.0 GPA is average, and taking at least three AP classes each year is also considered standard. Even a 1300 SAT score can be perceived as below average. While STEM has undoubtedly helped me grow, it can be discouraging when one B among all A's is viewed negatively.
9/30/2024
The best parts of my experience at STEM have been the teachers who have helped me in and out of school. It was unfortunate that until recently STEM had a low teacher retention rate meaning I rarely had the same great teacher twice. The math department has been mixed but recently stabilized to a good average. I would love to see more consistent quality in lunches as the vast majority were pizza.
8/2/2024
Very safe, friendly staff & teachers to make kids feel welcomed. They have resources available to help students with social and emotional behavior as well as academic support.

I have two kids at STEM in 5th and in 9th grade. I am hoping to find a better environment for them, but looking at other school ratings it seems like most of the schools in the state are in disarray. My oldest has been at STEM since 6th grade and my youngest has been there for two years. I feel like...
5/9/2022
Whereas I would have given STEM a 5 star rating in the past, the leadership at STEM combined with the STEM Board of Directors leads me to make a one star review. Their constant avoidance of addressing issues, hearing parent concerns, or taking accountability has led this school to crumble. The toxic...
